YOUR RIBBON IS FADING. SHOULDN'T THEY BE HOME?

Bush vetoes SCHIP, (State Children's Health Insurance Program). This bill, in existence since 1997, provides children with health care coverage whose parents earn too much to qualify for Medicaid, but not enough to afford private insurance. The plan currently covers 6.6 million kids. Congress was hoping to expand the program by $35 billion over 5 years in order to cover more children. Bush said no, despite over 70% of the American public supporting the program and its expansion.
The cost of the war in Iraq is currently estimated at $460 billion. That's $200 million every day. Yet he can't seem to find enough money to provide our children with needed health-care.
Bush is out of touch with reality. I personally think he has gone over the edge, but I wouldn't want to say that in public. Anyway, let's get him out of there. Call, write, e-mail, visit, your Senators and congressman. Let them know how you feel. Demand that they do something. Tell them our kids are more important than an illegal and immoral war. If they don't do everything in your power to see that they are not re-elected. THE TIME IS NOW TO TAKE BACK OUR GOVERNMENT!

"The common people don't want war but...it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag people along whether it is a democracy or fascist dictatorship. The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leader. This is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country." Hermann Goering, Nazi, WWII

The Christian, right-wing Republicans are talking about starting a 3rd party. I got some suggestions:
* How about, " Christian Soldiers for Christ." You don't believe in Jesus, BANG!
* I like, "Dobsons Dummies." That would be James Dobson, head of Focus on the Family, an ultra-conservative gathering of do-gooders from Colorado Springs.
* They could go with, "Hillary Haters." These boys hate Hillary. An intelligent, articulate lady does not fit into their Bible. If she gets elected, I bet they all start peeing their beds. That will make me giggle.
* The "Anti-Choice Party" would be a good choice.
* How about "The Right-Wing Do-gooder Party That Thinks It Owns the Republican Party Party?" These guys preach family values while they're screwing the secretary.
* Their pro-gun, pro-capital punishment, anti-government, anti-choice, anti-gay, don't invest in stem cell research, pro-war, anti-environment, anti-union, pro-corporate welfare agenda is quite appealing to candidates who can't think for themselves. They don't think they have anyone in the field who qualifies. Personally, I think Thompson, McCain, Romney, Hunter, and Tancredo would fit the bill just fine.
* And I even found a theme song for them. Now that's what I call extending a helping hand to the brothers and sisters of Christ's army.
